Hemlock

Warmth without visual noise, Hemlock knows exactly how to show up.

Hemlock pairs a light, understated color with a mostly straight grain that gives walls, ceilings, and architectural details a clean rhythm. Its quiet appearance makes it easy to use across large surfaces, while naturally occurring knots and darker streaks keep the material from feeling manufactured or predictable.

Hemlock is a softwood, but it isn’t a delicate one. Its balance of moderate strength, manageable weight, and good machining characteristics makes it well suited for custom-milled siding, soffits, screens, and interior paneling. Leave it natural, add a clear finish, or use stain to shift the tone—the grain still does the work.

For projects that need more control over the finished look, TimberTown can custom mill and ProCoat Hemlock before it reaches the jobsite. That means the profile, color, and finish are handled together—not left to chance after installation.

Our Austin, Atlanta, and Nashville teams can help you choose the right profile and ProCoating option for your project.

Soffits

Hemlock’s manageable weight, good machining characteristics, and low pitch content make it a practical choice for long soffit runs and detailed roof transitions.

Hemlock has low natural decay resistance, so good soffit design still matters. Keep it protected from direct weather, provide the ventilation the assembly requires, and seal field cuts during installation.

Dimensions: 1x6, 2x6
Lengths: 4' to 20'
Grooved or Square Edge

Accent Feature

Flat walls are optional.

Hemlock can be milled into slats, battens, fences, fins, and custom profiles that give architects another way to work with light, shadow, depth, and repetition. Run it across an accent wall, wrap it around a corner, or carry the same pattern overhead to turn a surface into a feature.

Change the board width, spacing, profile, or orientation and the same species creates an entirely different effect.

Siding

Siding asks more from Hemlock because there is nowhere to hide from sun, rain, and seasonal movement. The assembly has to do its job. Start with properly dried material, allow for drainage and ventilation behind the boards, maintain the required clearances, and seal every field cut.

TimberTown can custom mill Hemlock into the profile the elevation calls for and apply ProCoat before delivery. That gives builders more control over coverage and consistency before the first board goes on the wall.
